can't understand why in the US it's sooo much cheaper than in Europe, since the product is not even from there..

US price:         $499   =  406 €
German price:   689 € = $847

that's crazy!

    I don't know how close to the Netherlands you are, but over here it's 458 €. Depending on the exchange rate, that's about the same as in the US. Hop over the border and buy it here, or maybe one of the shops below will ship to Germany

    just found out that the Notes 10 for that price don't have 3G, didn't even know that there was a version without it.. anyway, with 3G it's 580 €, still cheaper ;)

    No problem. The reviews are mixed though, Samsung's touchwiz interface apparently doesn't improve the experience

    Yeah, you can set the language ;-). It's just the regular Android setting. My phone is from France, but I use it with English set as default (and Dutch would be possible too)

    For some reason, hardware seems to be cheaper over here than elsewhere in Europe. Maybe something to do with taxes or something. Maybe VAT is higher in the UK and Germany. 
    Anyway, when I travel, I usually check to see if hardware is cheaper and in Europe it rarely is. In the US it depends on the exchange rate. I still kick myself for not buying a macbook when I was in New York in 2008. The Euro was at $1.68 then. And the price of the Macbook was the same in Dollars that we had to pay in Euros. Stupid stupid ;-)

I think you're mistaken to believe this is a certainty, but what causes you to believe this is so, +Eve Volve ? As I understand it, there have been healthy, thriving vegetarians and vegans for as long as there have been humans. Some were so due to moral or ethical concerns, others due to resource utilization issues, others due to cultural taboos. All other factors being equal, the veg(etari)ans have thrived, and continue to do so. For some more recent historical examples of vegans, we can look at Pythagoras, the "Pythagoreans" (as vegans were called for the following 1300 years), along with a plethora of like-minded contemporaries (e.g. goo.gl/lgDBL ). Buddhists, Jainists, et al., have been doing grand as veg(etari)ans since around the 6th century BCE. Prior to this, there's compelling reason to believe that most people were veg...
